How to resolve inheritance and will dispute ?

A father passes away, and his property becomes the inheritance of all his sons. However, the title deed falls in the name of the eldest son. Now, the eldest brother continues to intimidate the younger brothers and does not give them their share. Fifty acres of land was to be given to each one. There was a total of two hundred and fifty acres of land, he was to divide it into fifty acres and distribute that to each of his four brothers. Instead, one received twenty-five acres, one took fifty acres, one got forty acres, while another received only five acres.

So, at that point, what is to be understood? The justice of the world would proclaim, “The eldest brother is shameless, he’s a cheat.” Whereas, what does nature’s justice say, “The eldest brother is correct. He has given fifty to the one who is to be given fi fty acres; twenty, to the one who is to be given twenty acres; forty, to the one who is to be given forty acres and the one who is to be given fi ve acres, he has given just fi ve. The rest was cleared in the other karmic accounts of the past life.” Do you understand my point?

Therefore, if you do not want to quarrel, then you should accept the ways of nature, or else, the world is a quarrel itself. Justice cannot exist here. Justice is there for one to check and see, ‘Has any sort of change or transformation happened within me?’ If I am accepting of the unfolding of my karma, then it is confirmed that, ‘I am just.’ Justice is in fact, a thermometer for us. Otherwise, there cannot be justice in worldly interactions, can there! If a person becomes the embodiment of justice, then he has become complete. Until then, he dwells in the extreme; he is either above normality or he is below normality!

That is why the elder brother does not give the other brother any more, he only gives him five acres, but our people try to seek justice for the younger brother and in so doing, they condemn the elder brother to be bad. All of that is an offense. “Hey, you are the one with wrong belief, and on top of that, you believe the wrong belief to be correct.” But surely there’s no way out, and as you have believed that to be correct, you also believe this worldly interaction itself to be correct. So, you will definitely take a beating, won’t you! On the other hand, the justice dispensed by nature is actually flawless.

Now, in the above case, ‘we’ would not interfere by saying, “You should not do this. This person should do this much.” Otherwise, ‘we’ cannot be called vitaraag (One who is free from attachment and abhorrence). In fact, ‘we’ simply continue to See, ‘What the karmic accounts from the past are like!’

They tell ‘us’, “You bring justice to this.” When they tell ‘us’ to dispense justice, ‘we’ tell them, “Sir, ‘our’ justice is of a different kind, while the justice in this world is of a different kind.” ‘Ours’ is the justice as dispensed by nature. The ‘regulator’ of the world indeed keeps it in regulation. Not even for a single moment, has injustice ever taken place. But, how is it that people perceive there to be injustice? Due to that, he seeks justice. Why did he not give you two acres but instead, told you to take five? Hey mortal one, whatever he is giving you, is itself justice. Because these are all opposing karmic accounts of the past. It is an entanglement indeed; it is a karmic account. Hence, justice is a ‘thermometer’. And with this ' thermometer’ you should see, ‘Previously, I had not been just and that is why this injustice has been dispensed to me.’ Therefore, the fault is not of the thermometer. What do you think? Does this point that I am making help you a little?
